But InsurTech is no longer just about startups. The Asia InsurTech Podcast has closely followed the trend of insurance incumbents partnering with startups as a means to accelerate digital transformation. Over the past year, we have spoken to many amazing industry leaders in order to understand how technology is reshaping the insurance industry and what the future of insurance might look like. Having those meaningful conversations was not only a lot of fun but we also learned a ton. We hope you did too.
